Pro-Tips for Savvy Shoppers
To make your experience as smooth as possible, keep these tips in mind:
- Bring Your Own Wheels: We highly recommend bringing your own wagon to transport your finds. We will have a very limited number of loaner wagons available at no charge.
- Navigate with Ease: Follow the signs on Hotwater Trail toward the WBG. Continue past the garden to the parking lot beside the Interpretive Center (where you’ll also find public restrooms).
- Make a Day of It: Take a moment to walk the beautiful trails of Freedom Park while you’re here!
